🍎 Save Cloisterseat Community Orchard! 🍎

Please see the following message from our friends at Social Juice, who has asked us to share this call for action. Please comment, share, or message them if you can help in any way or if you know someone who might.

We’re heartbroken to share that the charity at Cloisterseat is in crisis, and the beautiful community orchard we created is being unexpectedly closed.

This means 200+ trees urgently need saving and we need your help 💚

🌱 How you can help:

1️⃣ Can you spare some time to help dig up the orchard?
The trees are around 4 years old and need volunteers to help carefully lift them before they’re lost.

2️⃣ Do you have land, a garden, or know a community that could rehome trees?
We’re looking for individuals, groups, schools, or communities willing to give these trees a new home.

🍏 Why this matters:
This orchard is a unique and nationally important collection of heritage apple varieties from Scotland and around the world, including dessert, cooking, and cider apples. These trees deserve to live on and continue serving communities.
